ANOTHER aASHrIRuLA. J,


The express train that left Boston
at II O'Clock Friday night met with
a terrible accident near Woodstock,
On the Central Vermont railroad, at
about $3.50 this morning.
The tram started from Concord, /,
N. FL. on time, but was detained at
White River junction, so 1T was about
an hour and a half late when it left
there. 1t consisted of locomotive,
baggage car, postal car, two passen-
ger coaches, two sleeping cars, and
was running at the usual rate of
speed. When about 200 yards south
of the end of the dock bridge, near
Old Windsor station, a broken rail
was struck. The locomotive, bag
gage car and postal car broke away
from the rest of the train. passing
over the bridge in salty. The rest
of the train was thrown from the
rails and continued on the road until
it came near the end of the bridge
but there it ran over the abutment
and all of the cars fell into the White
river, some fifty feet below.
The gorge at this point was fright
full, and when the cars went down
there was terrible crash. As soon
as possible the detached part of the
train stopped and ran back to the
scene of the disaster.
The screams of the injured people
were heartrendering. Assistance
also came from the people living in
the vicinity, and everything was
done to rescue and relieve the injur-
ed. Soon after help arrived it was
discovered that the fire had started
in the first passenger coach, and
soon the entire train was ablaze,
thus adding new horror to the al
ready frightful.catastrophe.
Those present were powerless to
stop the fire, aud devoted themselves
entirely to attempting to rescue
those imprisoned in the wreck.
The rescuers met another and un-
expected obstacle in the heat, which
had become so intense that they
were obliged to reIinquish their
efforts to save the sufferers, and
were compelled to retreat to place
of safety for themselves and co be-
come unwilling horror-stricken wit
nesses to the awful holocaust.
In addition to this and to add to
the terror and sufferings Of the pas
sengers the weather was intensely
cold and the heroic rescuers were
thereby hindered in their work. No
water could be obtained with which
to check or extingulsh the flames.
The ice was several inches thick on
the river and there we're no appli-
ances at hand with which to raise it.
From latest estimates it is thought
that there were eighty-one people on
the train. OF these thirty-two have
been recovered dead and thirty-fve |
are in the hands of the surgeon. 1t
is also thought that there were some
children on the train without tickets
which may increase the total num-
ber.

Their thirst for deviltry still unsatls-

back to her father, where her horri-

Mexicans fed, and large party OF

If war between the United States
and Canada should come, Great
Britain would within forty-eight
hours after the declaration of war,
send sufficient number of gunboats
through the Welland Canal to de-
stroy the principal American cities
on tue lakes. .--Easters Journal.
Bosh! Within two hours after the
declaration Of war, American dyna-
mite would have every lock in the
Welland Canal destroyed, so that
even if the British and Canadians
were permitted to repair the damages
unmolested, which they certainly
would not be, the canal could not be
made navigable within q month.
And before half month had expir-
ed both sides eff the canal would be
securely in the possession of the
Americans, the patriotic and vigilant
citizens of Buffalo and vicinity can
be counted on TO promptly render
the canal useless for navigation the
moment a declaration of war is
made. If war should come, which,
however Is in the last degree improb-
able, the British navy would un-
doubtedIy be able to infilct much in-
jury on our seaport cities, but the
injury which could be inflicted to
cities Oh the lakes would be compar-
atively trifing. Globe-D Democrat.
